Following spinning questions and rebutted reports of him having declared for the NBA draft last week, Stauksas will officially announce his future plans for next season during a Tuesday press conference at Michigan.

"For those who have been asking, I will be holding a press conference tomorrow at school where I will announce my decision," Stauskas tweeted early Monday evening.

The press conference will be held Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. at Crisler Center. The university press release announcing the time and location did not specify if any other U-M players will be present.

Stauskas, a 6-foot-6 sophomore guard, is projected as a potential late lottery pick in the 2014 NBA draft. He will be the first of Michigan's three NBA prospects to publicly announce his decision of whether to enter the draft or return to school.

Last Thursday saw an ESPN.com report state that Stausaks had declared for the draft, citing the information as coming from "a source close to the situation." The report added that the source indicated Stauskas will "make a public announcement soon."

Soon after, in a text message to MLive, he reaffirmed that he's undecided and an announcement of his future intentions is coming "after this weekend."

"Let people know that I just heard from the NBA advisory committee (on Wednesday) and haven't jumped to any conclusions yet," Stauskas wrote. "I'm not in a rush to make this decision. I believe I will have my decision ready after this weekend."

Stauskas, a 6-foot-6 guard, led Michigan in scoring with 17.5 points per game, posting over 20 in 14 games, and dished out a team-best 118 assists.
